When to Choose Livestorm

Marketing and sales teams that need professional webinar hosting with built-in registration, analytics, and engagement tools

Livestorm is a webinar-first platform that does one thing very well: professional virtual events with registration, engagement tracking, and on-demand replays. It's not designed to compete with Zoom or Teams for daily meetings. If you run webinars regularly, it's excellent. For general meetings, look elsewhere.

Strengths

  • Purpose-built for webinars and virtual events with registration pages, landing pages, and email workflows
  • AI-powered summaries and engagement analytics for every session
  • Browser-based — no downloads needed for hosts or attendees
  • Up to 3,000 attendees on paid plans, with on-demand replay built in

Limitations

  • Expensive at $79/mo — primarily a webinar tool, not a daily meeting platform
  • Free tier is extremely limited: 10 attendees, 20-minute sessions
  • Overkill for standard internal team meetings

Small businesses that want a straightforward, reliable meeting tool without the complexity of full UCaaS platforms

  • AI Meeting Summary generates automatic recaps with action items after every call
  • Reliable, mature platform with 20+ years of video conferencing experience
  • Simple, clean interface that requires minimal training
  • Free tier available with basic meeting capabilities for up to 3 users

Limitations

  • AI features are basic compared to Zoom, Teams, or Dialpad
  • Free tier extremely limited — only 3 participants for 40 minutes
  • Integration ecosystem is small compared to market leaders
